Tapper just interviewed Haberman and Swan about their book Regime Change [View all]

He covered many topics from the book but mostly stuck to how trump was overreaching his authority and how sycophantic his staff is. I wondered if he would even broach trump's health since he was so extremely concerned about Biden's. After all, even if trump's health was not a main focus of the book, hi bizarre behavior most certainly is. So how then do the authors explain such behavior?

Finally, at the end he did ask about trump's hearing problems, falling asleep, bruised hands, etc. But it was significant to me that he only asked about trump's physical health. His extremely and increasingly strange behavior would not be caused by those problems. Haberman said the administration is not transparent so she doesn't know about his health.

And Tapper seemed willing to leave it there. Nothing to see here, I guess.
